CAE listening online

Parts 1- 4 with explanation & practice

Instructions

• For this listening test, you will check your answers at the end of the hour and hand in your work.
• There are 4 parts to CAE listening. Each part will have a short explanation with what is expected of you for this part and a link to the website if you want to practice on your own.  
• Make sure you take your time to answer the questions. A full test normally takes between 40-50 minutes and this will be similar to the listening test this year.

Good Luck!

Part 1: multiple choice

You will hear three different extracts. For questions 1-6, choose the answer (A, B or C) which fits best according to what you hear. There are two questions for each extract.

Keep in mind that though you have 8 (A-H) options, not all of them have to used. Tip: take notes as you listen to see which speaker will match and translate any words in the questions that you don't know.
